Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain While Coughing With A History Of Cancer

Hi, for more than 2 weeks I have had horrible headaches and have felt nauseous 24/7. I m always dizzy and tired, having no energy to do anything. I also wake up every single night at least twice to have to pee, and it s always urgent. Just recently, the nausea started getting worse after I eat. Also, yesterday I started having a tough time breathing and today I have sharp stabbing pains in the mid part of my chest along with a painful coughing. I m only 19, weigh 120, and am 5 6. I went to the doctor last week and they took some blood work but haven t called back for the results yet. I do have a history of cancer though. I had a wilms tumor on my kidney when I was 18 months old and had to have my right kidney removed. I m not sure if that has anything to do with it though. I just wanna know whats exactly wrong cause I m tired of laying in bed because I m feeling horrible. Sometimes the nausea and dizziness is so bad that I can t even drive. Please help

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Wilms tumour is nephroblastoma. It is malignant tumour and can spread in lungs in brain.
So you should definitely rule out brain and lung metastases for your symptoms.
Brain metastases commonly cause nausea, vomiting, giddiness, dizziness etc.
Lung metastases commonly cause chest pain and difficulty in breathing.
So consult cancer specialist and rule out brain and lung metastases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
